Darren is fine

Many of you have been calling and emailing asking how Darren is feeling. In short, he is fine.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about...here's the short story.
Darren recently returned from a water well trip where the team successfully drilled two water wells after a week of problems. Unfortunately the last day Darren was soaked in a Polymer to which he his highly allergic. The day they flew home his arms were breaking out into blisters and by the time they landed he looked like he had dipped his arms up to his biceps in some kind of horrible chemical. He had what looked like a terrible chemical burn. His hands were swollen to twice their size (thankfully they were able to get his wedding ring off before it got too bad) and he had blisters that were an inch to two inches in diamater and full of fluid. (Sounds gross...looked worse...and I love him :)

After he went through six or seven very painful days it finally began to subside (with the help of the doctors shots and prescriptions) then two days later he began another break out. He was miserable. Thankfully, that break out never fully developed and he is over it now.

In the future, we will need to find a polymer that he is not allergic to but all is well.

Dear Lord,
Thanks for the healing...I was getting a little worried. I know that you are in complete control and I shouldn't but he was in pain. He received that pain trying to bring water to a thirsty nation. It made me think about what Jesus went through on the cross...and yet so much worse.
Thank you for the realtionship I gained when he did that. I am blessed because of what you did. I promise not to forget it.
